Advertising Standards


Here's one of those annoying 'targeted' adverts that sully the right-hand margin of your FaceBook page.

   What is she on? You will never guess the crazy trick that makes her look half her age.





Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a picture of Geri Halliwell, formerly Gobshite Spice or something?  She's only about 40, surely?  Perhaps it's someone's idea of quasi vigilante justice for having given her daughter a name like Bluebell.

The utter bollockness of those adverts, though, never ceases to amaze me.  One memorable one was claiming to have a 'cure' for belly fat, and advertised using a picture of a young woman in a leotard and leggings with a very big belly.  It was a lady doing yoga and she was clearly  heavily pregnant lady, and not fat at all!  How do they get away with it?

They also seem to think for some reason that I live in Milton Keynes.  I don't, dear reader.  I don't. Heaven only knows how they came up with that notion.

But, more important that any of that ... how to I get my left-hand margin back to where it aught to be???
